2018 International Building Code – Structural – Accommodate Florida Specific Need 

Structural TAC

IBC-Structural Code Change No.	IBC-Structural Section 	Change Summary b/t 2015 IBC-S and 2018 IBC-S	Change Summary b/t 2017 IBC-S and 2018 IBC-S	Staff comments	
S53-16	1602.1	Modifies text of Section 1602.1 “NOTATIONS”. This change proposes to coordinate the Notation in Chapter 16 of the IBC with the 2016 edition of the referenced loading standard “Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE/SEI 7-16)”.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. The proposed changes will not increase the cost of construction. This proposal coordinates the IBC with the referenced loading standard ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures. ASCE 7 will be updated from the 2010 edition to the 2016 edition as an Administrative Update to the 2018 I-Codes. As of the submission date of this code change proposal, the ASCE 7 Standards Committee has completed the committee balloting on technical changes. The document designated ASCE 7-16 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings
and Other Structures is expected to be completed, published and available for purchase prior to the ICC Public Comment Hearings for Group B in October of 2016. 	Same as change between 2015 IBC-B and 2018 IBC-B

S55-16	1607.14.2	Adds new Section 1607.14.2 “Fire walls”. This code change clarifies the minimum lateral loading that fire walls are required to resist to meet the structural stability requirements of section 706.2 where the structure on either side of the wall has collapsed and can no longer provide support. This is the same lateral load that is required for fire walls designed per NFPA 221 as allowed by 706.2.  This code change was further modified by the Committee. The modification removes all portions of the original proposal except for new section 1607.14.2 where a clarification is made to indicate the load is an allowable stress design load.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. The cost of construction will not increase by clarifying the lateral load on firewalls, since it is already standard practice to use this loading per NFPA 221. This clarification will decrease the cost of design, as it provides structural engineers a clearer understanding of code intent.

S57-16	1603.1, 1603.1.3, 1603.1.9 (New)	Modifies text of 1603.1 “General”, 1603.1.3 “Roof snow load data.” Adds new Section 1603.1.9 “Roof rain load data”. This change proposes to coordinate the IBC with the 2016 edition of the referenced loading standard ASCE 7Minimum Design Loads and associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-16). In particular, the snow loads variables should be lower case and the required slope factor should also be included in the required roof snow loads data. Also, rain load data should be included on the list of design loads required on construction documents.  The code change was further modified by the Committee.  The modification only requires that the rain intensity be indicated.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. The proposed changes will not increase the cost of construction. This proposal coordinates the IBC with the referenced loading standard ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures. ASCE 7 will be updated from the 2010 edition to the 2016 edition as an Administrative Update to the 2018 I-Codes.

S70-16	1604.3.3, 2203.2, 2207.1, 2207.1.1	Modifies text of Section 1604.3.3 “Steel”, 2203.2 “Protection”, 2207.1 “General”, 2207.1.1 “Seismic design”. Add new standard “100-15, Standard Specification for K-Series, LH-Series, and DLH-Series Open Web Steel Joists and for Joist Girders”. 
Deletes references to “JG—10, Standard Specification for Joist Girders, K—10”, “Standard Specification for Open Web Steel Joists”, “K-series, LH/DLH—10, Standard Specification for Longspan Steel Joists, LH-series and Deep Longspan Steel
Joists, DLH-series.”

This proposal adopts the newly completed 2015 edition (44th Edition) of the combined SJI-100, Standard Specification for
K-Series, LH-Series, and DLH-Series Open Web Steel Joists and for Joist Girders, in the applicable code sections

Cost Impact: Will increase the cost of construction. This code change proposal adopts the latest industry standard for steel joists. At this time, it is difficult to anticipate how cost of
construction will be fully impacted, other than to note that some of the additional costs will be offset by new efficiencies in the design and installation of steel joists.

S93-16	1607.12.3.1	Modifies text of Section 1607.12.3.1 “Vegetative and landscaped roofs”. This proposed changes to Section 1607 will harmonize the provision in the code with the 2016 edition of the referenced loading standard ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-16).

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. The proposed changes will likely impact the design and construction of these systems because this proposal seeks to reference the
recognized loading standard ASCE 7, which now includes loading provisions for this use type. Whether costs increase or decrease or otherwise may impact design costs are undetermined because the current ASTM reference may or may not be similar to the acceptable ASCE 7 loading methodology, which is consistent with all other provisions in ASCE 7. This proposal coordinates the IBC with the referenced loading standard ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures.

S255-16	2209.2	Adds new Section 2209.2 “Cantilevered steel storage racks”. Adds Standard RMI/ANSI MH 16.3-2016. “Specification for the Design, Testing, and Utilization of Industrial Steel Cantilevered Storage Racks”. This proposal adds a referenced standard on storage rack systems that are currently installed in many buildings. Many jurisdictions review and permit these installations and this will be useful in plan review so it belongs in the code.  The code change was further modified by the Committee.  The modification makes an adjustment to the referenced section of ASCE 7.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. There will be no cost impact. There will be no increase in the cost of construction and installation of this manufactured product.  Cantilevered Storage Racks have been manufactured and successfully utilized in large-scale warehouses and distribution centers for many years. Having a new Standard developed and introduced to the industry at this time is intended to identify, clarify, and memorialize the essential differences in the behaviors of such structural systems and the important considerations and requirements in their detailed design, installation, and utilization. This product will continue to be designed and produced primarilly by the same manufacturers who have been producing cantilevered storage racks, along with the more common pallet racks, for many years.

S274-16	2304.10.5	Modifies text of Section 2304.10.5 “Fasteners and connectors in contact with preservative-treated and fire-retardant-treated
Wood”. This proposal is intended to bring over the approved language from the IRC into the IBC so that the two documents contain the same requirements for the permissible type of stainless steel fastener used in treated wood.

Cost Impact: Will increase the cost of construction. The majority of driven stainless steel fasteners are already manufactured from 300 series stainless steel. If a manufacturer were supplying the lesser performing (and lower cost) stainless steel types then there would be a cost increase in going to the 300 series stainless steel. The increase in performance would justify the additional cost. However, the use of stainless steel fasteners is not required, and where stainless steel is not used no increase would be incurred.

▀ ▀ ▀	2304.10.5.1, 2304.10.5.3	Modifies text of Section 2304.10.5.1 “Fasteners and connectors for preservative-treated wood”, 2304.10.5.3 “Fasteners for fire-retardant-treated wood used in exterior applications or wet or damp locations”. The intention of this proposal is to better integrate staples into the code so that the provisions for small diameter fasteners (nail and timber rivets) also are explicitly extended to staples where applicable. The second part of this proposal is to specifically limit staples to stainless steel where exposed to high corrosion environments.

Cost Impact: Will increase the cost of construction. Currently when staples are used in treated wood the only known available option is to use stainless steel staples. In this case there would be no cost increase in construction. For use in treated wood if staples are not presently stainless then there would be a slight cost increase, however we do not feel that these staples would be code conforming. In this case any increase in performance would justify the additional cost.

S300-16, Part I	2506.2, 2508.4 (New).	Modifies text of Section 2506.2 “GYPSUM BOARD AND GYPSUM PANEL PRODUCTS MATERIALS AND ACCESSORIES”.  Adds new Section 2508.4 “Adhesives”. Adds new standard “ASTM D 6464-03a(2009)e1 “Standard Specification for Expandable Foam Adhesives for Fastening
Gypsum Wallboard to Wood Framing”. This proposal adds ASTM D6464 to Table 2506.2, and adds a mandatory statement outlining the requirements for adhesives used to attach gypsum board products. The new referenced standard applies to expandable foam adhesives, which are currently accepted for use by product evaluation reports. Proposal adds a requirement calling for approved fastening methods for gypsum products used in ceiling assemblies, which is consistent with the fastening requirements for gypsum products used in ceiling assemblies under the IRC.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction.
The proposal increases product selection options, but contains no mandatory requirements.
